The M&P seems like a very good overall design, but I am puzzled by the hinged trigger. It looks kind of fragile. Has anyone ever heard of the trigger breaking or otherwise failing?

The hinged trigger is one of three safeties that make the pistol almost immue from accidental firing (not immune from you negligently pulling the trigger at the wrong time.) The pistol can be thrown off the building and run over but will not fire until the trigger is pulled.
The Glock safety system is very similar with their small trigger lock release on the trigger.
The hinged part must be pulled down to disengage the trigger lock, and the whole trigger mover to disengage the striker lock. Only then can the striker be fully cocked and then released to fire.
